A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I prefer "site formerly know as twitter" most
I call it: "The thing formerly known as twitter".
It's short and concise, without using the actual stupid name, meaning not advertising "The thing formerly known as twitter".
I think x works if you think of it as short for excrement
Or just keep it more compact: Xitter.
Pronounced with sh.
Twits for short. Just overall, forever.
Lil nas X should rename himself to Lil Nas Twitter
TwitX
how about TWX?... ( pronounced ..twicks)
I don't know, most people think I'm way more interesting when I tell them I spent all weekend on X.
(I didn't, the cool one or the Twitter one)
I will still call it twitter. I hope twitter either dies or becomes a giant nostr relay.
How about "The platform formerly known as Twitter" since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?
Personally I think X premium is a better name
Hush.
